h3. Event organizers and elective teams
* Pilots are invited by the elective team 'owner' to be in their team.
* Pilots can be a member of an unlimited number of elective teams, but can only be in *one* team at each event, therefore you should get pilots to declare which elective team they are in (if any) before the first task in your event.
* Pilots cannot change elective team after the first task in your event, but they can switch teams between events.
* Organizers are encouraged to produce an elective team scoring for the event, but they MUST at least provide the list of who was in which team at the event so the [WLC general scoring|cimaContinentalCup:WLC Results] can be updated correctly.

h3. What the WLC is all about.

The WLC brings the results of National Championships together to find a World League Champion each year.

Participating event organizers provide their results to CIMA and they are [tabulated|WLC Results] to show the current status of every participating pilot.

Events get into the [WLC calendar|cima:Calendar] and qualify as a FAI Category 2 event in the [FAI Calendar|http://www.fai.org/cima-events/cima-events-calendar-and-results]. The WLC system encourages pilots to travel to those events (and pay entry fees).

h3. Why WLC is good for pilots.

There is a tangible result at the end of each season; who is the best pilot?

h3. Why WLC is good for manufacturers and other sponsors
